The Pakistan Women's AFL team are a barrier breaking group of trailblazers who love their footy. This is about more than sport. It's an opportunity for these woman to have a life changing experience, to change the narrative of their country and in their communities. They will compete at the 2024 AFL Asia Cup in Vietnam on the big stage. This is an official AFL event as part of their International Series, featuring only local players. Through any of your assistance, alongside the Freo de Janeiro Podcast and Rogue Teamwear, we can make it possible for the team to overcome the barriers to get to Vietnam and be properly kitted out in female fitting and culturally appropriate uniform for the first time (for instance, no white shorts). Your support will enable each of the squad players to receive the following uniform: 1 x longsleeve guernsey 1 x women's shorts 1 x long pant skins 1 x socks 1 x kit bag The team are guided and supported expertly by the respected Australian coach, Michael Gallus. He is a volunteer, based in Australia, who is taking leave from work to help the team. He is coaching and motivating the team remotely in the time being. Michael is a legendary figure behind AFL's growth in Pakistan. The team debuted at the 2017 AFL International Cup in Melbourne. The players hail from all parts of Pakistan and go through many amazing background stories to make it to the big stage. Hear about one of the stories of foundation player, Karishma Ali https://freodejaneiro.com/karishma/ Why is the Freo de Janeiro Podcast helping the Pakistan Women's AFL Team? After hearing a lot about the team, I got to see them play at the 2023 AFL Asian Championships in Thailand. Being Aussie with Pakistani heritage, it was incredible to see their passion for footy. It compelled me to do what I can to help the team get the best resources at their next tournament. Costs: - Uniforms cost $1,300 AUD, so your donation will contribute to the players getting the best apparel to make their mark and kick some goals for their country. - Airfares will be to help the players and Michael get from Pakistan to Vietnam. This is a costly exercise for the players. This is approximately $1,500 AUD per squad member plus Michael. If in reading this, you are able to help with any other logistics, equipment, contacts or ideas, please do reach out. Thank you for supporting these talented women to achieve their dreams of representing Pakistan and doing so in a well-fitting and befitting way!
